Quantum physics researcher specializing in photon–magnon interactions and open quantum systems.
About me
The pursuit of physics, to me, is the pursuit of meaning — an attempt to understand why the universe behaves as it does, while flexing everyday intuition beyond its limits.
I'm finishing a dual BTech (honours) + MTech in Engineering Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi, and I'm headed toward a PhD. My research lives where experiment meets computation: I've measured photon–magnon hybridization on a vector network analyzer, modeled it with input–output theory, and written the lab software that sits in between.
My first paper, published in physica status solidi (RRL), demonstrates photon-mediated coupling between two spatially separated magnonic films — magnons talking to each other through a shared photon, with no direct interaction at all. Before that, I spent a summer at TU Dortmund building a variational quantum eigensolver for Floquet states in spin-ladder systems, and a year with the University of Houston simulating conductivity in tilted, disordered Dirac fermions on the Param Shivay supercomputer.
Quantum devices are, to my mind, the way forward — whether that's quantum sensing and control for fine-tuned measurement, superconducting circuits, or simulation that lets a computer access physics we otherwise couldn't. That's the frontier I want to spend my career on.
What keeps me going is playing the bass (my band won IIT BHU's Battle of the Bands), following Formula 1, building 3D art in Blender, and being pretentious on Letterboxd.
